Landscape design always refers to the construction of visual landscape
environment, but human cognition of environment includes not only visual, but
also acoustic cognition. In recent years, the soundscape was usually used as a
key method to increase the sound quality in urban open spaces. Landscape
factors have been considered in many previous studies in relation to sound and
soundscape perception. Therefore, this aim of this research is to review the
relationships between soundscape and landscape.
This paper introduced the concept of soundscape, investigated sound
envrionment of urban areas and explored soundscape elements and soundscape
designs. In view of current sound environment features of open areas and
different population groups’ preferences for different sound elements, this
paper proposed soundscape design method to improve sound environment of open
areas.
